1 Samuel 25:14-20
14Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to 12greet our master, and he spoke to them in anger. 15Yet the men were very good to us, and we were not 3harmed, nor did anything go missing 4as long as we went with them, while we were in the fields. 165They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them tending the sheep. 17Now then, be aware and 6consider what you should do, because harm is plotted against our master and against all his household; and he is such a 7worthless man that no one can speak to him.”
18Then Abigail hurried and 8took two hundred loaves of bread and two jugs of wine, and five sheep already prepared and five measures of roasted grain, and a hundred cakes of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and she loaded them on donkeys. 19Then she said to her young men, “9Go on ahead of me; behold, I am coming after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal. 20And it happened as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by the hidden part of the mountain, that behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; so she met them.
